to the most frequently used article, whichr unquestionably is the mirror, by vwhich the face, hair, hat and neck ornaments may be'` readily inspected and adjusted, if desirable.

It is therefore one of the objects to devise a bag frame having provisions whereby a mirror may become instantly accessible without opening the bag or disturbingits contents .which remain in security therein. f v

It is a further feature to incorporate anc combine with the bag frame a mirror having means for being drawn outwardly, held in -any desired, adjusted position, -prevented from Vcomplete extraction, or be pressed :wholly within the bag to be concealed between its walls and present no uncouth or objectionable features.

'lhese purposes, togctlieiwith other vminor advantageous objects which are hereinafter set forth, are accomplished by the novel construction and combination of parts described in the specification and shown in the accompanying drawing, constituting a material part of this disclosure, and in which :I

Figure 1 is a partial side view of a conventional type of handbag including a frame lmade in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view showing the frame construction and supports for the mirror `which is shown in its normal concealed position;

flange 7, and carrying eyes 8 in Ywhich are fixed the ends of a handle.

A snap fastener or lock 9 is provided at the center of the frames by which they are normally held together when the bag is closed, the construction throughout being of the usual type except for the improvements which will now be described.

At one side. of the frame -member 6 in :unrrE1n-srMESsPATENT,A OFFICE., i i

its outer surface, is a lshallow depression'lO,

an` oblong rectangle in shape, adapted to receive a plate 11 having at its center a raised grip 12 extending above the level surface ofthe frame and suited to be grasped between the finger and thumb of a person in ber 6` are a )air of o o osed s rinor brackets 16 equivalent in width to the frame 13 and having on their lateral edges pairs of inreaching lugs 17 between which the mirror lframe 13 is slidably guided.

The upper and lower ends of the spring brackets lllare curved slightly outward,andk i their maincentral portions bear against the side members of the frame with sufficient friction to retain the mirror in any of its adjusted positions, while the projections 14,

when the frame is extracted to its maximum Inorder to open and close the frame element 7 with respect to its mate ak recess 18 is formed in its front edge to clear the framel 13 and spring brackets asbest seen in Figure 3. Y

From thel foregoing it will be understood that the mirror may be brought into op erative position by grasping the extending element 12 and exert-ing a moderate pull without openingthe bag and, as the mirrorl is quite thin and disposed in the upper part of thebagbetween the frame elements, this can be done without disturbing the bag coni tents.

Although the .foregoing is descriptive the preferred embodiment of the invention,

it will be apparent that'minor changes may be made in its construction, without the exy ereise of invention or conflicting With the scope of the claim hereto appended.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let- 5 ters Patent, is:

In combination With a bag and a frame,

comprising inner and outer hinged members, the latter of Whlch contains an opening', a mirror adapted to be moved into and out of the said opening Without opening the said bag and held against complete Withdrawal at any desired exposed position.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.
